The father of three children who were killed by their mother at their family home in south Dublin three years ago has called for the scope of the inquest into their deaths to be widened to examine the diagnosis and treatment of his wife’s mental illness before the tragic event.
Lawyers for Andrew McGinley have asked the coroner overseeing the inquest to look into the medical care of his wife, Deirdre Morley, for the two years preceding the death of their children.
However, the application has been challenged by the legal representative of a consultant psychiatrist, Olivia Gibbons, who had treated Ms Morley six months earlier.
